Juvenile Notes - 30th April

Under 9

The latest round of the Western hurling and football league was played last
week with a trip for group two to Tallow (Tues 22nd) and group one travelled to
Lismore (Wed 23rd). Group two played great hurling and recorded a fine victory
on the night while the boys in group one found the going much tougher against a
fine Lismore set up. Monday gone (28th) saw both teams play the same opposition
in football in Abbeyside. Details next week.

Under 8

Our under 8 hurling team played against Fourmilewater on Sunday last in the
Fraher Field at half time in the match between the same two teams at senior
level. All players acquitted themselves well before a large attendance .Well
done to all.

Outdoor Hurling

Our underage outdoor hurling commences this Saturday morning the 3rd
May at the Burgery at 10. 30 Am. All are welcome. This covers all age ranges
from under 5 to under 10. Anyone who has not paid their membership yet is asked
to pay it on the morning for insurance reasons. Membership forms will also be
given out on the morning. Helmets are compulsory and there will be a €2 cost to
cover expenses.

Under 16

Our under 16 footballers were due to play their last match in the round
robin series of their football county championship last night, Tuesday 29th
of April in Abbeyside against Gaultir. Going to print no score was available
but will be covered in next week’s notes.

Under 14

Our under 14 Footballers played in the Féile football county final last
Wednesday night against the Eastern champions De La Salle in Walsh Park.
Playing with the breeze in the first half we were slow to get going, as the
half progressed we settled in well and were 1-4 to 0-0 up at half time. In the
second half we played much better and went on to record a good win 2-10 to 0-2.
This was a great achievement for this panel of players, who now go on to
represent the county in the Féile national championships. This is the second
consecutive year that the club has qualified for this tournament. Plans are
underway to fundraise to send the panel to Mayo for this year’s competition on
the 27th June.

On Saturday morning we switched to hurling for the Western Féile semi final
against Lismore. This was a much tougher game and with less than 10 minutes to
go we were one point down but boys battled away well and won 3-5 to 1-7.

Under 13

Our under 13 are out next weekend in the Football Western Semi Final
against the Nire.
